If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

As my trick skills evolve I find that tricks that once made up my bag of tricks I don't even ever do anymore. I've recently been revisiting some and found i can't even hit several of them others are just weak. So many tricks, so little time.

Here's a few:

Flic Flac to 540 - tried it missed it horribly again and again. I really unlearned this one.

Yo-Yo - Yeah I roll up all the time but not from nose up like I first learned. I can still do this but it was automatic and I had to think about it recently. I just don't do it.

I have done a fair amount of flippy stuff on the Elixir Mike. Granted it isn't spoon-fed to you like the weighted and pronged "modern" kites, but enough to yoyo, fly around for a while and then unwind.

Plus, I just love to watch a big wobbly framed kite do that stuff.

Hmmmm, think I'll have to go pull out the Elixir. It's been neglected too long.

thats a SWEET lookin' kite!has anyone forgot how to do Flapjacks? I forgot them to some extent when i was trying to do smooth and slow JL's. I forgot almost how to execute them fast and have the nose wayyy back for the Flapjack whoops
